For the first time in at least a year another member of Team Ballcap entered Cyrodiil. Talion the Mighty Templar took the day off and his friend Jonas the Adequate, a Breton sorcerer fighting for the Dominion, joined the fight in Vivec. He performed... adequately. He didn't even have his champion points assigned so he took a swig from the his tankard and slapped something together right quick. 100 here, yeah looks good. Umm, going to put 75 in that tree, etc... Let's do this!
Jonas hopped the next caravan to the capital province. Based on the information from Talion the Mighty (Kill the other guys -Talion), Jonas figured "Hey, how bad could it be?" What am I wearing for armor? Netch's touch? Well fitted Netch's breaches?! That are superior?! A mish mash of Julianos and some off brand staff. Yeah, this just won't do at all. But we're here, so let's give it a go. A quick trip to Alessia (there's always action at Alessia) and off we go. There's some skirmishing out front due to blue taking the lumber mill and engaging in the open field for some small scale action. So I streak close into the fight, pop some shields and start blasting with Endless Fury and some crystal frags. It looks like I'm doing.. and I'm dead. Right, six light armor pieces, forgot about my shields. Remember Toto, we're not in heavy armor anymore...
Ok, let's try again. This time Jonas has it a bit more dialed in. Endless fury even popped and killed a few guys. Hey, this is going allri... and I'm dead. Right right... shields.
What I need is a change of scenery. Let's head to Nikel. Clear our head for a minute and get our skills in order. Switched a few things around. Remember, circle is shield... circle is shield. Specifically, circle is hardened ward. Transit up to Ash as DC is resource grabbing. I'm up on the wall shooting down at a covenant guy who is in turn, shooting up at me. And he's winning. Quick! Shield shield shield! Muscle memory takes over and I hit R1 which is Talion's heal. Only, instead of healing, Jonas streaks off the wall right in front of the person below. Dead. Right.... circle is shield. Forget that, R1 is now shield. Let's use muscle memory to our advantage. Respawn, back to the wall, the same guy is down below still. I'm blasting spells and staff attacks and getting some injuries, QUICK shield! I hit circle for shield and streak off the wall right in front of the same guy and he kills me again. I wish I could explain to him that no, I'm not in fact, an idiot. I just... I forgot I switched my buttons...
Respawn, sprint out the door, head towards the wall and another AD shooting down. I get there, out of stamina from running, just in time to catch a meteor to the face. Dead. Sigh. One more time...
Respawn, sprint towards the wall. Stop on the stairs and buff/shield up. Ahh, getting smarter. See that guy below who probably has sore glutes from laughing his ass off at this idiot sorc. He's likely thinking "As long as he keeps showing up, I'll keep killing him." This time I'm using Encase because... well just in case (haha). I get to the wall and some other AD are attacking him and his buddies. Perfect. As long as they don't shoot at me, I'll be fine. I'm getting a little more used to the skills. I jump down and engage. I'm encasing the tree runners (dodge that, shuffle-muffin!), getting some endless fury in there, why are my hands purple? Oh yeah! Crystal frags! So I throw some of those around too. Whoop, better shield up. Ok, now it's going on. I'm having a good time now. Oh no, that guy is looking my way. Shield and streak! Shield and streak!
All told, I died a lot more than I am used to but when you get those skills working, playing a magic sorcerer is a lot of fun. Lightning everywhere. Also, to anyone who was hit by my Storm Atronauch, I assure you it was an accident. I can't tell you how many times I dropped it well away from any sort of fight. My aim and timing with it were terrible. Sometimes I'd hide and go keep it company far away from the fight until he went back to wherever atronauchs come from. Probably Houston.
Edit changed out a word that was censored
"After a hard week of farming, or a long night of being nagged by your wife, there is nothing better than going out for a bit of a fish."
yellow zergs down vivec, its pop locked and *** pvp for those getting zerged and those not wanting too zerg....like 90% of the AD pvp population is piled into vivec right now....its kinda gross.....only positive this that has come from having 2 campaigns iis it gives a more accurate picture of the population of each alliance right now....friday prime time..viviec pop locked ad pop locked ep, 2 bars dc...shor 1 bar ad pop locked ep, no bars blue....
howdy @generalmyrick , howdy @jlboozer , howdy @OutLaw_Nynx, howdy @Hatoreehanzo ...i know you all spend some time pvping in our neck of the world...
just wondering what your recent pvp experiences have been like...
personally i've been having fun - but, it has mostly been non-objective oriented with a lot of zerg melee action around the outposts...
I like to fight in those situations (fighting just for the sake of fighting, and, being able to quickly rez nearby) - so, that's okay for me...just a little worried to see pops so low all the time across the different campaigns...

I actually have a dedicated PvP character now and it is much better. Mag DK. Full impen makes a huge difference.
